Both sides seem to be desperately searching for reasons to care enough to not just go to a protest, but change their lifestyle, like changing their religion, in order to oppose what they see as evil.
After the police start deploying their batons, some guy pathetically says "Really? Seriously guys?" Then a woman using her arms to block people telling her own side "let's just see what they say"
Suppose I don't know why there'd be anything else from an optics focused protest of Canadians, but I hope spines grow quickly when there's no longer sympathy to be gained by these means, or I suppose the hope is you win over those with spines or enough people to tangle the purse strings of those who pay the thugs, just I don't know if that can happen.
